doc. 0133 New Haven, Conn. Dec 31/1925 Thursday Got up and before having breakfast packed up the two suite cases, and then to the club for cornmeal toast and coffee. Got $2.50 and then the railroad ticket to Austin, Texas with sleeping service to New Orleans; cost $82 1/2 Set to Pierrody Avenue by 10:30 and found here Ruudemann, Seldring and Bucher. At 12.15 P.M. Clinton took me in his Ford to my rooms, and then to the railway, where I checked the large suite case. The train was 15 minutes late so I got started at 1:10 P.M. The day is fine and sunny. At the depot I again met Ruudemann and Seldring. On Hell Gate bridge into Brooklyn we had a great view of the gate, New York City and East River. Retired early, about 8.30 just as we were getting into Baltimore.
